XC60 boot capacity

Guu · Mar 10th, 2019, 08:19

I'm seeing two different boot capacities posted on different sites - 495L and 655L. Which do you think is right?

One figure is probably the capacity to the tonneau cover and the other is to the roof line.

Good suggestion Bej, thank you.
Just trying to figure out whether it is on a par with a a Passat or much smaller. Thoughts?

Can't help with Passat saloon, but currently I am waiting for delivery of a Passat estate GT which was ordered back in August last year. The estate boot is certainly bigger and also not so high from the ground which will help when loading my electric buggy.

Bej, we've got a Passat estate and a Golf GT hatch at the moment, I'm sure you'll really like your new car and it will be ideal for your buggy. We've been tempted by another Passat ourselves but can't get excited about spending a lot of money on a repeat purchase. Now looking forward to not having to stoop and slide things into the boot of an XC60. There's something for everyone!!

Not simple to compare different manufactures unless they both happen to use the same measuring system:

Surprisingly the Passat B8 has a taller boot opening than the XC60
XC60 boot is wider and shorter than Passat so depends what you're carrying as to what suits best.
